The Plagues Were Against The gods Of Egypt Part 13

In this study we will take a look at the miracles that Yahweh performed on the Egyptians, when Israel was held in bondage, during this period in Exodus. We will see that those miracles were against the Egyptian deities or gods that they worshipped.

The story of Moses is not just the story of the freedom of a group of slaves from Egypt in the second millennium BCE. It is the blueprint of the Plan of Salvation of the world as seen from the structure laid down in the Bible.

 Moses was the prototype of the Christ or Messiah. More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point. Moses said: ‘And Yahweh said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.’ (Deut. 18:17-18,).

In this study I continue in chapter 7. 

In verses 8- 13 we have Moses, Aaron and the Magicians

9   When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, etc. = The king would naturally demand some evidence of their having been sent from Elohim; and as he would expect the ministers of his own gods to do the same works

Take = “lâqach” “law-kakh'” “lamed-quph-chet” “Aleph-Tav”

lamed – (shepherd staff), teach, yoke, to bind

quph = (sun on the horizon) condense, circle, time

Chet = (tent wall) outside, divide, half

Aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leader

Tav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and cross

Aaron you take that shepherds staff (symbolic of Yahshua Messiah) for the time is coming that I Yahweh/Yahshua Messiah will divide MY Elect from this bondage!

10   cast down = “shâlak” “shaw-lak'” “shin-lamed-kaph” “Aleph-Tav”

Shin = (two front teeth) sharp, press, eat, two

lamed – (shepherd staff), teach, yoke, to bind

Kaph = (open palm) bend, open, allow, tame

Aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leader

Tav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and cross

This wasn’t any ordinary wooden shepherd’s staff, but the true Shepherd Himself, Yahshua Messiah that took on the bondage of Satan and allowed that staff to become a serpent showing Pharaoh that He was the creator of all things!

It became a serpent = תנין  tannin. What kind of a serpent is here intended remains a debate among the so-called scholars. From the manner in which the original word is used in Psa. 74:13; Isa. 27:1; 51:9; Job 7:12; some very large creature, is probably meant; some have thought that the crocodile, a well-known Egyptian animal, is here intended.

If we assume that the rod was changed into a crocodile, then we ask why a crocodile?

The ancient goddess of war, Neith, was revered as the goddess of wisdom. At different periods she was identified with Athena, noted as the sister of Isis, and named the protector of Duamutef. Neith was the mother of Sobek, known as the crocodile god.

11   wise men = wizards, who possessed a knowledge of many secrets of nature which were unknown to the people.

Sorcerers = men who are adept in altering the external appearance of things by their arts

Magicians = ‘sacred scribes’, versed in magic lore and practice; jugglers of marvelous skill

Secret arts = their spells and sleight-of-hand. Snake charming is widespread in the East, ancient and modern.
